Once again I'm going to try and step up to the challenge of doing some writing this year for NaNoWriMo! I never feel like I'll actually reach the 50k word goal, but I'm always hungry for some motivation to try and push myself into doing any kind of writing, lol. I did better last year than the year before that, so I hope the same trend applies this year! ^^

One difference this year is that the story I've decided to work on is a complete rewrite of an old story I was working on previously. I didn't like how the original was structured, and it kinda was one of those "start in the middle of the action" pieces that ultimately made everything feel kind of disjointed. So I hope to start from the beginning this time and really tell a complete tale. :) I'm really motivated for this idea, too! It's a World of Warcraft fanfiction about one of my characters I've been super attached to lately. I can't wait to work on her story!

Another difference is that I've actually been putting a lot of time into planning how the story will play out. I always know what's supposed to happen, of course, but it can be challenging getting from point A to point B sometimes. I'm going to work on an outline before November starts so I can have it on paper, and I have found success with that in the past; my last finished piece, a 70k+ story, was written with an outline to help me keep the timeline straight, and it actually really helped my process and ultimately finish the entire thing. Of course, I didn't do THAT in a month; it took the better part of a year. xD
